Description:

This swap is for a Puzzle Collaboration, where each artist completes or alters one puzzle piece each round, which is just one of the 12 pieces of the larger puzzle. So this swap is a Multi Round (At least 12), and multi partner swap. This swap is for a 12 piece puzzle, to be completed by different artists, one puzzle piece a month, over the next year.

You will sign up each month to participate, and Swap-bot will randomly assign you your partners for the month. You may get a send to or receive from partner more than once, as partners are randomly assigned by the bot.

To start the swap, I will send each participant a blank puzzle with 12 pieces, and on the backside of each puzzle, I will designate a Number. You will then alter the corresponding puzzle piece, for example this month we will alter and send Number 11, to your one partner. Each month will be a different puzzle piece. So each month, every person will send and receive the same puzzle piece number until the whole puzzle has been completed. At the end, we will all share in making this a fun collaboration puzzle project that we will each have one to keep, created from many different artists.

To help cover the cost of the puzzles and shipping them to each of you, you agree to send me $1.25 in either unused postage, thru PayPal, or in trade somehow. Some items I would accept as trade...ATC sleeves, not cutesy stamped images, die cuts, handmade envelopes, dinosaur stickers or postcards or anything dinosaur, weird, funny or unusual postcards, and much more...) If you already have one of the 12 piece Inovart puzzles, sold on Amazon, just let me know, and you can use it.

Here are some examples of Altered Puzzles:

You may create your art on each puzzle piece in any medium you wish, in any theme you wish. You may choose to complete these all at one time, in small batches or small groups, without reading your partners profile, or you may complete each piece each month after you read your partners profile, the choice is yours. You may include embellishments or have 3D elements, but please make sure anything being adhered is glued down well, and that whatever you're adding does not block any of the other pieces from connecting to that puzzle piece...all the puzzle pieces need to fit in the puzzle unobstructed. Please mail your puzzle piece inside a Decorated card/envelope.

Have fun!

I'll be happy to send you unused postage!

Ummmmm..... 1)What a freaking cool swap! 2) I don’t mind sending PayPal funds or unused postage (I have a ton of it in interesting stamps). 3) I love collabs and puzzles, so this is right up my alley. 4) Thank you for hosting!

phillaine 05/30/2019 #

I am excited to try this! Thank you so much for hosting. I will happily send you some unused postage and extras as well. :) Please PM me with your mailing address when you get a chance and I'll send them your way.

This sounds awesome! I've been seeing these on Pinterest for a while and wanting to try it out. Thanks for hosting! I can PayPal :)

AmyMarie 05/31/2019 #

How fun! I will send unused postage (I will need your address).

DragonflyDaisy 06/ 2/2019 #

Such a fun and creative idea! I can send postage, PayPal or I can do a trade as I have many stamps for stamped images and dies to make die cuts. Just let me know what you would prefer!

carol 06/ 4/2019 #

Dang! Sorry I missed this one. Let me know if you need an angel!

phillaine 06/ 5/2019 #

Question: So for this round, we're supposed to alter #11? Or did you mean #1 since it's round #1? Thanks!

Heynowokay 06/ 5/2019 #

@phillaine From my understanding, we can alter all of them at once or one at a time, but we are sending piece #11 for this swap!

wolfeagle 06/ 8/2019 #

That's correct. Mail piece number #11 this time. I could have just numbered them in order, but I didn't. ;D

wolfeagle 06/ 8/2019 #

Carol, If you want to play, I can set up a PVT swap for the puzzle and first piece with you, then you can join in each month as usual. Let me know.

phillaine 06/ 8/2019 #

LOL! @wolfeagle , that's why I was checking! :) Thanks for letting me know. Can you let us know your address so we can send you your "payment?" I will be happy to send right away.
